Never give up!

Bodies are turning up across a small city — all of them half-bloods, people of mixed human and elven heritage. The police call it a racial maniac. Detective Blackwood and magician Silverlight believe it is a necromancer harvesting half-blood souls for a ritual. Mia Silverlight — Silverlight's young half-blood niece — is pulled into the investigation and finds herself at the center of something much larger: a killer who wants her, a potential romance, and a secret her uncle has been keeping that changes everything.
